Report of the Superintendent of Schools
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE :-
TOWN OF SUNDERLAND
I am pleased to submit to you my second report as Super- intendent of Schools.
Looking forward offers more of zest and promise to most of us than glancing backward. The eagerness with which we make yesterday and today the stepping stones to tomorrow is charac- teristic of our age. Yet our foundations are deep in the past and our individual and social progress can only be measured by com- parison of past and present. I am confident that the last year has been one of steady progress in our schools. Many favor- able conditions have contributed to this desirable situation. In the first place we were able to retain the most of our teachers. Miss Williams and Miss Swann, both valued and experienced teachers, accepted more lucrative positions in other school systems. They were succeeded by Mrs. Ruth Wynne and Miss Church, both experienced teachers. All regretted Miss Bent's departure early in the Spring. In September Miss Barbara Allen, of Deerfield, a graduate of the Posse School of Physical Education, was appointed and is carrying on the work success- fully.
The healthful and comfortable conditions under which pupils and teachers of Sunderland do their work has a very definite relation to the health and spirit of the schools. The absence of epidemics or other serious interruptions affecting the attendance

of the smaller children during the year made possible a high per- centage of promotions in June and good standards of grading. The entering classes were slightly diminished and the threatened serious overcrowding in some rooms will not occur for sometime.
The system of reading begun last year has been extended into the 2nd grade where excellent results are already obvious. Detroit reading tests and other standardized scales have been used and have shown standard, and in many instances su- perior conditions.
In addition to the regular classroom activities, attention was given to Music Week and to Health Day. The active par- ticipation of our pupils in the Health Crusaders work is de- tailed in the report of the School Nurse. The Dental Clinic sponsored by the County Health Association and local commit- tees, was an outstanding feature of the year and is properly mentioned in the Nurse's report. An exhibit of the Home Economic and the Art work of the schools was held in June. I hope that these special activities can be arranged this year to interest and attract a larger portion of patrons and friends of the schools.
A prominent educator has defined daily work of a properly conducted school as a sequence of purposeful activities. Tea- chers today are aiming to develop in the pupils an individual interest in the practical phase of school work, to emphasize its relation to his daily environment and to direct his impluses and attitudes to purposeful ends.
